This city has a reputation not only for hospitality, but also for practical Christian fellowship, and the 800 delegates to the National Free Church Council Assembly were made aware of its friendly atmosphere as soon as they entered the handsome De Montfort Hall for the Lord Mayor's official reception.

There is an element here which feels very strongly about such makers as Spain, the German colonies, and the distressed areas, and already there are Indications that its spokesmen in tend to make themselves heard.

Gandhi's recent remarks deploring his title of "Mahatma" have led to considerable controversy in Indian political circles. Replying to a suggestion by a Madras newspaper that Gandhi should be called "Mister," a former president of the Liberal party, T.R.V. Sastri, said:
